I thought I was so smart putting my drink in a travel mug so it wouldnโ€™t get spilled.

Cat tmi

Melbcat spewed on it, hit it bullseye along with the carpet. The concave cup lid acted as a little basin ๐Ÿคข

Itโ€™s rinsed off and in the sink while I decide how best to deep clean it or whether I can face using it again after that.

The carpet has been blotted well and soaked in biological cleaner so hopefully that should be okay. Iโ€™ll scrub and reapply if I need to.

Edit: the spinnos look a bit less happy today. Theyโ€™re still valiantly pushing up leaves but one looks very slightly chewed, others have tiny pale bumps and pin fine light trails on them, and a few look wilted with dark stems near the soil. I wonder if theyโ€™re damping off

Oh dear, did you finish the night on the floor, or did you manage to negotiate some space?

Miss Meow spent some time sleeping on my shoulder while purring loudly in my ear. Which always sounds nice, but 3kg of cat in the wrong spot gets really heavy, and the purr directly into the ear is a bit like having someone starting a chainsaw outside, and is not condusive to sleep.

I was hanging slightly off the edge. I managed to stay on by curling in a croissant around her, putting my shoulders and legs more on the mattress and providing counterweights.

Oh dear. Melbcat is quieter but is around 5kg now and likes to lie on my throat. She used to be 6kg, possibly down from 7.

5kg directly on the throat would be a bit much. Miss Meow was 2.3kg when I got her, she is now somewhere over the 3kg mark, which for her is getting a bit overweight.
